Leather

IN #SeptemberVogue, fashion features editor Sarah Harris introduces the new ways to wear leather for autumn/winter 2012-13. "Who do you want to be today? An urbanite with edge? Or perhaps a post-apocalyptic warrior? How about someone more ladylike? The thing about black leather now is that it plays to every fantasy," she writes.

And if you looked at the international collections, it's true, you'll see that indeed it does. Pencil skirts, bomber jackets, biker jackets, dresses, trousers and skater skirts - all of them have been given a leather makeover for the new season. Of course, you can pull out old leather favourites too - for that's the great thing about leather: whatever the fashion weather, it's always a classic.
